This weekend: Adam Beyer at Stereo, or Guy J at Circus, or both!?…Decisions, decisions…and Drop Zone Live at Commission des Liquers.

St. Patty’s Day is just around the corner, and for most Montrealers, this weekend marks the unofficial end of winter and the official start of months on end of non-stop partying! But, just in case that isn’t cause enough to get you pumped for the weekend, we’re here to give you 3 more reasons to celebrate. From techno to trance to progressive house, this weekend is jam packed with events featuring some of the best DJs in their respective genres. Honorable mentions go out to Velvet Speakeasy for booking Hot Since 82 this Thursday, and to Stereo for booking Tale Of Us, Butch, and Kyle Kalma on Saturday.

When it comes to trance in Montreal, Raneem has to be one of the hardest working DJs, and talented producers in the city. With releases on Armada, Spinnin’, and High Contrast, along with support from the likes of Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Markus Shulz, Cosmic Gate, Leon Bolier, and W&W, Raneem is truly a rising star. For the first time ever, Raneem will be taking his Drop Zone Live event, which he usually holds at Circus Afterhours where he is also a resident, on the road to Commission des Liquers this weekend. Known for his legendary 7 hour sets, this Friday is guaranteed to be a another epic night. Tickets are only $10 if you buy now, and drinks are 2-for-1 before midnight. So what are you waiting for?

Legendary Swedish techno DJ/producer Adam Beyer, who also heads the famed Drumcode record label (and radio show) is set to invade Stereo, and blow your mind this Friday night. Beyer is true techno royalty, and keeps good company. The quantity of quality techno producers signed to Drumcode is massively impressive; Alan Fitzpatrick, Christian Smith, Dustin Zahn, Industrialyzer, Joseph Capriati, Marco Bailey, Nicole Moudaber, and Steve Lawler just to name a few. Beyer last played Montreal in 2009 (old port), and before that we’re pretty sure he hadn’t played since Aria in 2003. Needless to say, he doesn’t come around nearly often enough so if you are a lover of techno, you do not want to miss this!

Israeli progressive house/tech guru Guy J will be making his second ever appearance at Circus Afterhours this Friday alongside Bedrock label mate Richie G, and local fan favorite Oren D. With the launch of his label ‘Lost & Found’ in 2012, which is actually a subsidiary of John Digweed’s label, and multiple chart topping releases on Cocoon, Anjunadeep, Tronic, and Bedrock, Guy J is currently one of the hottest DJs and producers on the house scene. Montreal quickly embraced Guy J’s diverse and melodic sound early on in his career with multiple performances at Stereo Nightclub, and the internationally renowned Black & Blue festival in 2012. At $15 a pop, tickets are an absolute steal if you buy them now so don’t wait!
